   Having a lot of high quality media files is no good if you do not have a media player that plays the media in highest quality, supports many file formats, and works flawlessly. A media player should be lightweight, be able to handle all the media files you throw at it, whether it has subtitles, was encoded a long time ago with some obscure codec, or came in a strange file format. Support for Blu-ray content rendering has also become a necessary feature.
